The Mvix MV-2500U: An Ultra Portable, HDD-Based High-Def Media Center

Mvix has announced their new, mini MV-2500U media player, which supports a 2.5-inch hard drive but can still cram in most of the features of its big brothers (the MX-780HD and MX-760) in a package about the size of a PDA. It can also support drives as big as 250GB, which should be enough to store about 100 DVD-quality movie titles. Other features include: 480p, 720p, 1080i compatibility and support for MPEG-1, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4, DVD (VOB, IFO), DivX (3/4/5/6), Xvid, BivX, VCD (DAT) formats. The MV-2500U is available now for $149. Press release after the break.

We're hearing this MVIX unit is on its way to the US market in July or August for an as-yet undetermined price. More »

Mvix MultiMedia Player

While this thing isn't particularly ground-breaking, its always great to see mini-PCs and hard drive enclosures come together in a way that is both ingenious and useful. The Mvix Multimedia Player plays video, audio, and images from a 3.5" disk—not included (!!)—and can transmit the audio via an FM transmitter. Hmm, you're saying, couldn't I put that in my car and watch porn in the hooptie? Sure you can, and plenty of people will. More »
